I have a w4201c with very bad cable reception. The TV started to dislpay wavy lines moving from top to bottom when first turned on, after a few minuts the picture cleared up. Days later the TV would turn on (blue power light in button was active) but no dell splash screen, remote was unresponsive, and turned off after minuts or so. I have completed the cap replacement on the power board as suggested in many threads, the TV turnes on every time and is responsive to the remote, however the wavy lines have the picture moving around so much, nothing can be viewed (audio is clear and clean); reminds me of 'tracking' on old VHS tapes. I am using the digital coaxial input with a standared def. cable box. The channal "fine tuning" helpes for 5 minuts sometimes moving as far as 30-75 (default is 50, range 1-100), color tone is lost but the waves are not as promanenet for a few minuts.
Dose anyone have infomation or experence about what might be causing this? I have read a handfull of threads on 'www.fixya.com' suggesting the horizontal and high voltage section of the power board (might also be the excitation circuit) might be damaged but did not give any fix insturctions or trouble shooting suggestions.
